Over the past 2 days, Oregon Public Broadcasting has had a few interesting articles. “What the new federal climate report says about the Northwest” states “the report emphasizes various impacts of climate change on the Northwest, predicting warmer winter temperatures, reduced mountain snowpack, more frequent and severe droughts, increased extreme rainfall, and larger, higher-elevation wildfires.” Note that it predicts more “extreme” rainfall, not more precipitation overall, and more droughts. Links to related articles worth reading are embedded. As the title implies, “9 times the US Army Corps of Engineers miscalculated badly at the expense of taxpayers, wildlife“, is pretty damning review of Corps projects (pun intended). Oregonians have plenty of examples of this, including dams on the Crooked and Deschutes Rivers.
